things that arent in the bible

[Ghostdog]

the bible doesnt say a lion will lay down with a lamb it says a wolf will:

isaiah 11:6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb

noah didnt have ppl mocking him when he was building the ark

so where did these ideas come from?

We Just Don’t Noah | Answers in Genesis
Absolutely assumed... but it stands to reason that his work certainly was seen and that he preached righteousness and no one at that time held any thoughts but evil continually... 

so it's not a far reach to assume they did ridicule him... after all there was no such thing as rain at that time...

Hebrews 11:7 (KJV)

[7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

Had it ever rained before the Flood in Noah’s day? | GotQuestions.org

[Dennis1209]

Yep! There are many things we can imply, assume, and reason in God's word. Our English Bible does not say Bible (The Book), Trinity (Three in One), or Rapture (harpazo) either. 

Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

In addition, the command was to leave the Garden of Eden in the land of Eden proper and multiply and take dominion of the world. In the verse above, specifically, where does this apply?

There was a game 45-50 years ago they kids played I forgot the name. Get a group of 7-10 together in a circle and one whispers a statement in the ear of the next to him and it is whispered one by one until it gets back to the one that made the statement and many times it will have changed. Hear say mix up.

It is easy to assume if the lion is laying with the calf it is not likely he will get up go have the lamb for lunch and lay back down with the calf.

People say God never spoke of using the bathroom to people but He did give instruction about it in the bible.

Here's my honest opinion and I don't mean to be harsh.

There are certain pastors [a lot on television], certain SS teachers, certain parents and grandparents, certain Christian school teachers, certain Christian authors, and certain lay people on the internet who TEACH it wrong.

Why?  Why do they do that?

[1] They give their opinions and haven't read it themselves.

[2] They've been taught wrongly and haven't read it themselves.

[3] They read too many commentaries from unreputable teachers and haven't read it themselves.

Why do the people believe it?  Why do people believe EVERYTHING that they see, hear, and read from authority figures or just people on interet forums.

Are they that stupid?

No, they just don't read the Bible for themselves.  I cannot tell you how many Christians do not read the Bible.

Yes, that's also very true.

“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

10 “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse,
Who shall stand as a banner to the people;
For the Gentiles shall seek Him,
And His resting place shall be glorious.”

Make your allegations known by naming false teachers on Worthy, @missmuffet. Name them, and be sure to furnish an example of their false teaching. Otherwise, all you are doing is poisoning the well with suspicions, rumor, and slander.

Finger pointing and name calling? Is that what God wants from us?There is a difference between truth and slander. Does God want us to be ignorant of false teaching that would make other Christians stumble and fall?

QUOTES NOT IN THE BIBLE

(That people are sure are there but aren't) (I know it's there somewhere!)

 

36.  "God helps those who help themselves"  The antithesis to the Gospel! Quote from Benjamin Franklin

37.  "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"  Obviously made up by someone's mother to encourage bathing.  Actually a quote from John Wesley

38. "Do unto others before they do unto you" Spoken by a cynic.  A misquote of  Matthew 7:12  Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.  (Never called the "Golden rule" in scripture)

39.  "I see said the blind man"  Close but not quite.

40. "God will not allow you to suffer anything more than that which you can handle"  Actually just the opposite. God often allows things to occur beyond your own ability to fix so that you will turn to Him.  A misquote of 1 Corinthians 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

41.  "This too shall pass" - A misinterpretation of many bible passages "...and it came to pass..."

42.  "Money is the root of all evil" The bible teaches that it is the LOVE of money that causes problems. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

43.  "Pride goeth before a fall" Is actually a misquote of  Proverbs 16:18  Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

44.  "The lion shall lay down with the lamb" Nope.  "But I've seen pictures of that!"  Isaiah 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. Isaiah 65:25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

45.  "A fool and his money are soon parted” Uh-uh.   Not there. Sounds like a good proverb, No?

46.  "All that glitters is not gold"  Neither is this one.

47.  "There are seven deadly sins: Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy and Pride."  These are not listed together in scripture as sins, nor are they any "deadlier" than any other sins.  What is listed is found in Proverbs 6:16  These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: :17  A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, :18  An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, :19  A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. 

And what more shall we say about the "3" wisemen coming to worship the "baby" Jesus who was wrapped up in swaddling clothes, surrounded by cows and camels and donkeys in a "stable on December 25th"? 

We need to be careful that what we believe is from scripture and not from our imagination or tradition.
